Sex In Lent

Rating: 2.0


Christians are softer now
than when you had a child from sex in Lent,
when you were supposed to be abstinent,
and were hung from the nearest bough.

That might have been a bit harsh,
even then, for a first child;
but a second offence
from sex in the season of abstinence
spoke incorrigibility,
hanging from a bough not being enough,
and dishing out of harsher stuff.
